The Ducat and the Florin

The third modern Cowbridgean currency, the Ducat, replaced the Pacifical as Cowbridge’s primary currency on the 12th of August 2020. Ducats and florins were used periodically between the 15th - 18th centuries before finally being replaced in 1871 with the pound.

The Ducat is a circular, golden coin with one side displaying the current monarch’s head (currently King William’s) and on the other side a fox, stag or ship, depending on the value. Accompanying the Ducats are the silver florins, hexagonal in design and coming in variations worth 0.01, 0.02, 0.20 and 0.50 ducats. Each coin gets progressively larger in value, with the smallest the 1 Florin and largest 5 Ducats. Alongside the coins, there are ten, twenty, fifty and one hundred ducat notes, coloured turquoise, lilac, red and gold. All the notes measure 13.2cm x 6.9cm.
